[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10 people are murdered daily in silver springs. Rockvilles has 15 murdered a day. Buy in Virginia.[/quote]

Is this true?[/quote]

No, it's not true.

[/b]County of a million people and there were 28 homicides last year for all of Montgomery County MD, including Rockville and Silver Spring.

I'm from a southern city where someone gets murdered almost every night, so Silver Spring has been great[b]. [/quote]

This is not a flex for a suburb that you think it is.[/quote]

It's not a "flex" it's actual data. Fairfax is not that different in homicide numbers. [/quote]

But less taxes and same services, etc. [/quote]

Well, Fairfax is uglier and its schools aren't as good. And if taxes are your obsession, don't forget that Fairfax has toll roads everywhere, the car tax, taxes on groceries, and higher restaurant taxes.[/quote]

Stop. Fairfax also has far more, and nicer, retail options. There are homeless people roaming around and panhandling all over Rockville Pike in “North Bethesda,” and Rockville Pike is literally the only reasonably nice retail corridor in all of Montgomery County outside of Montgomery Mall. Fairfax has Tysons, Mosaic, Fair Oaks, Reston Town Center, and a bunch of stores on Route 50 and Route 7 in Chantilly and Sterling. There are also a lot more jobs in Fairfax, unlike MoCo where most people either work for the Feds, which aim to cut their workforce by 50% or more in the new administration, or work in the county’s paltry Biotech corridor, which pales in comparison to the IT jobs near 267 in Fairfax.

People that have been here for 20+ years have watched MoCo deteriorate while VA has been awash with private investment and infrastructure projects. [/quote]
